I'd appreciate any help with this mark. Looks like the letters SF with a sword in between them, and the number 5. Found on the bottom of this delightful silver plate cup, with a squirrel handle and a hand etched fawn and squirrel scene. I'm told it comes from a wealthy estate in Philadelphia. The seller believes the piece is all custom made, including the squirrel.

Sorry, I misread the first letter in my previous post. I'd appreciate any help with this mark. Looks like the letters HF with a sword in between them, and the number 5. Found on the bottom of this delightful silver plate cup, with a squirrel handle and a hand etched fawn and squirrel scene. I'm told it comes from a wealthy estate in Philadelphia.

Hell, this is French plate, maker was Fabre from Paris, 175 Rue du Temple. No other info available. Best wishes, Bahner
